Diocese of Africa

The Diocese of Africa was a regional administrative district of the Roman Empire which was in 335 AD, covering North Africa from Morocco to Libya. Following the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, the Christian Church was legalized, and it created dioceses in every Roman province; these existed until the late 5th century. Although it was lost to the Vandals during the 5th century AD, it was reconquered by the Byzantine Empire in 533, and it was replaced by a proconsulate.
